After the Knight's quarters, we headed right for the Alliance.

"... What do you do in your guild?

"I will gather information"

"... you can't tell anyone that Master Lin is gone, can you? How do you do that?

"Don't ask me anything about Lynn… find out where the brave men went."

"Uh, what do you mean?

"If you hear what Lin and I crusaded today, we can go there and investigate, right?

"Oh, yeah, you did! Speaking of which, I didn't even ask you where you got your request!

I'm going to look at this one as Mr. Listina was impressed.

"Then why don't you ask the knight?

"... No, you'll never tell me. If anything happens to us, I think it's over there."

"... Oh, right..."

So I got to the guild.

Asked the guild receptionist, the information was immediately available.

... They were experiencing demons going west of this city.

It seems to be okay now, but the danger may still be there, so I don't want you to come near it, it was a story.

"Do you want to go then?"

"Yes."

"Ver."

We're going through the west gate, straight ahead.

"... Around here, I see"

I light up the map I bought and where I am now.

... even so.

The fall of the earth, which seemed after the battle, was everywhere, so there was no mistake to be made first.

Listina, who had a light made of demonic stone in her hand, lifted it to softly illuminate her surroundings.

"Around here, Master Lynn was drunk by a black vortex...... right?

"... right. Let's explore the surroundings for a moment."

"Right, I hope you find something!

"... Yes"

Miss Listina said that to cheer me up or with a smile on her face.

... if you can find anything.

With that in mind, I walk around.

To Mr. Listina, I followed Val.... because I thought Val would be better off when fighting demons.

I'll use the light I had in my hand, too, to look around.

Lynn...... please stay safe.

Brave man, if you don't... Lynn must still be the Inn Billboard daughter.

I didn't want you to just do something that would take Lynn's life like that.

If anything happens to Lynn, I might end up resenting God again.

With that in mind, I was looking for some evidence that would lead to Lynn... so I stopped.

"Black...... Vortex"

It was right in front of him.

... There it is, is it? Or did you just show up?

I don't know... but isn't this the black vortex that swallowed the phosphorus?

I swallow my sauce.

It was then. Mr. Listina came.

"Senior...... Huh! It's a black vortex!"

"... is, yes. Probably swallowed phosphorus…"

Even the knights couldn't find the black vortex......

I didn't even think the knights would miss this.

...... I guess that means I just showed up here.

... What caused this?

Changing circumstances with the knights would be about people.

You reacted to me? Or is that Mr. Listina?... or Val?

I don't know why, but there's Lynn at the end of this black vortex... Huh!

"Mr. Listina, please report this vortex to the Knights"

"What do you do, Senior Relius?!?

... that's not true.

"I'm going into this vortex. Maybe I'll see Lynn."

"Yes, no, wait! It's dangerous!?

"If there may be Lynn in that dangerous place, we need to help!

"No, even seniors aren't dangerous! I mean, what could be dangerous to the brave do to the seniors!?

"Well, maybe so... eh"

... So you want me to keep an eye on this vortex?

I'll bite my lips and then I'll see Mr. Listina.

"... please. I'm just going to check on you!

"Already! Senior Relius! He said no!

Mr. Listina grabbed my arm.

But I'm stronger.

I pulled my arm and stepped into the black vortex to ignore Mr. Listina's suppression.

My body goes into the black vortex... and my body falls.

Look around.

... Where am I? There was nothing around in the black space.

Eventually, my consciousness went away.

When I woke up, it was... a land I had never even seen.

I think it's falling... but my body doesn't have any scratches.

I'll try to wake up my body...... I haven't even had any injuries.

... Where the hell are we?

Look around, but there's no sign of Lynn.

"Lynn!"

I raised my voice, but no reply came back from anywhere.

I lift the lights and try to illuminate the surroundings.

But I still don't see anything.

... Lynn was drunk by that vortex just like me, and if she came to this earth... she could be strolling around.

"Lynn!"

As I raised my voice, I walked down the earth.
